For a woman, peak fertility means peak performance. How can we work with our bodies, rather than against them and still achieve everything we desire?
Our bodies undergo various changes during each phase of the menstrual cycle, affecting our energy levels, mood, and overall performance. For instance, during menstruation, we might feel less energetic compared to the ovulation phase, where many women experience a boost in vitality.
Understanding and embracing these natural rhythms can lead to a more harmonious and empowered life.
One amazing way to connect with your cycle is by linking each phase to the different seasons of the year. This analogy can help you visualise and understand the shifts happening within your body.
- Winter (Menstruation): Just as winter is a time for rest and reflection, menstruation is a period for slowing down and conserving energy. It's a time for introspection and self-care.
- Spring (Follicular Phase): Spring symbolises new beginnings and growth. Post-menstruation, energy levels start to rise, making it a great time for setting new intentions and embarking on new projects.
- Summer (Ovulation): Summer is synonymous with peak energy and outward expression. Ovulation is when you might feel your most vibrant and sociable, making it an ideal time for social activities and tackling challenging tasks.
- Autumn (Luteal Phase): Autumn represents a time of winding down and preparing for rest. The luteal phase might bring about a need for more nurturing and self-compassion as your body prepares for the next cycle.
By bringing more consciousness to your menstrual cycle, you can achieve greater regularity and predictability. I invite you to explore this seasonal approach and truly flow with your body.
Reflect on when you feel most energised and when you need more rest. By practising this exercise, you'll start to feel more connected to your body and its natural rhythms, turning your menstrual cycle into a source of strength and empowerment.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this episode!
